Abstract excerpt
Glioma is the most common primary brain tumor. Glioma stem cells (GSCs) are the origin of gliomagenesis and may develop from normal neural progenitor cells (NPCs). However, how neoplastic transformation occurs in normal NPCs and the role of the Ras/Raf/MAPK pathway in NPC transformation is unclear. The present study generated NPCs from human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) carrying gene alterations in the...
